I'll ask him about this. I'm currently asking him about having more web and
ftp space, etc, anyway. I use a small specialist ISP and he is generally
helpful.

Another reason for the "morning run" has been a tendency for the connection
speed to slow down during the day and become very slow in the evenings.
When I do a speed test I tend to be told the downloads run at around
70megs. But iplayer fetches get far slower than this.

I also find getting things in the morning quite convenient - provided the
fetching works reliably!

BTW This morning an mpeg-dash fetch of the 320k version of yesterday's
"More Or Less" (R4) threw up segment error reports and ffmpeg failed to
turn the partial file into a tidied-up version when asked by gip that
Audacious could play. However doing this 'by hand' in a terminal window
worked OK. I only had time to play half the result and it sounded OK. But
this is a worry given that I plan to fetch a batch of Proms over the
weekend! :-/
